Guppy Breeding?

How much was the P&P for the Kiezebrink smelt and how long would it last one snake?

I bought 1kg and 500 pinkies in January for about £70 (Inc the postage). I've still got about a quarter bag of smelt and at least half the pinkies. That's feeding 13 (or 11 if you take off the non-eating blacknecks). An order like that would last you a year for just your one checkered. I'm tempted to just order 4 or 5kg of smelt when I run out, the postage of £18 would make it a hell of a lot cheaper than buying the smelt locally.

The $8.95 I pay for a package of silversides seems like a great deal after ~6 months of raising guppies. The guppies were more work than the snakes. I had a filter and a heater fail on me. If my garters were permanently babies it might have been sustainable but they kept growing and getting hungrier and the guppy output couldn't keep up.

The sale RodentPro had a few weeks ago with rat pinks for 29 cents was an even better deal. $29 for 100 and I should get about 30 weeks out of the bag. $29 in silversides would get me about half that. I'm not including shipping in the calculation because I was placing an order for my constrictors anyway so it only added a couple dollars.

I have 3 tanks of guppys, pretty in the rooms, but only feed to young sans that are picky eaters...but they breed quite a few, it just takes months for them to grow to eating size! a pain in the but really, good as a last resort for picky babies, but not an ideal solution for full time feeding.
